Logistics

Our teams provide all-encompassing logistics solutions, from efficient delivery management to material distribution and compliant fire management services.

We plan, coordinate, and manage resources, materials, equipment, and personnel required to complete a construction project efficiently and safely.

Key aspects include:

Effective logistics are critical to keeping a construction project on time, within budget, and compliant with relevant regulations.

Construction Support Services

Clipfine offers clients a vast array of skill sets in bespoke packages to support any area of construction.

All our operatives have the necessary training and CSCS card relevant to their trade. We provide multi-skilled in-house training to deliver excellent value for money to clients. Our employee search engine tool allocates the best-suited individual based on trade, training qualifications, or residency.

We also provide centralised support to assist with:

  • Toolbox talks
  • Safety inspections
  • Plant and materials procurement
  • Logistic planning
  • Security planning
  • Waste management
  • Delivery management

Our operations managers regularly visit every site to engage with the client and communicate directly with our workforce.

Our Experienced Workforce Includes:

Clipfine provides skilled tradespeople on a daywork or fixed-price basis. Method statements and risk assessments are provided before works commence. Our carpenters and handymen are typically tasked with work such as:

  • Hoarding installation, maintenance, and decoration
  • Tower crane hoarding
  • Weatherproofing
  • Ramps for hoists and changes in levels
  • Void protection
  • Maintenance and fit-out of welfare areas and accommodation
  • Installation of barriers, gates, and signage

Clipfine provides trained fire marshals to ensure fire-safety management throughout the project.

Following the development of the fire safety plan and provision of fire-fighting equipment, Clipfine’s fire marshals ensure the necessary maintenance of equipment and emergency exits.

Our fire marshals monitor and control the site environment, ensuring fire risk is reduced. They also ensure the use of hot work permits, providing real-time reports on this and fire evacuations.

All our hoist drivers are CPCS trained.

All our hoist drivers are CPCS trained. They are responsible for:

  • Operating hoists and beneficial lifts
  • Liaising with logistics coordinators on hoisting procedures
  • Regularly checking equipment, raising any maintenance and remedial requirements
  • Cleaning of hoist cars, goods lifts, loading docks, run-ins, and ramps

Clipfine provides traffic management coordinators and fully trained traffic marshals for the implementation and safe management of all traffic movements around site boundaries. Traffic and pedestrian management plans are communicated with project teams and prominently displayed. Minimising the impact on third parties during construction is key.

Our traffic marshalling teams:

  • Are uniformed, polite, and courteous to all
  • Maintain a visual presence at site boundaries to meet vehicles and ensure pedestrian safety
  • Enforce agreed delivery schedules
  • Maintain and adapt pedestrian barriers, signs, and safe walkways
  • Record vehicle arrival and departure times and calculate delivery carbon footprint
  • Bank deliveries in and out of site
  • Ensure all delivery drivers are familiarised with site rules
  • Direct delivery drivers to correct unloading bays
  • Ensure gates are closed at all times and manned during all working hours
  • Manage the transition of delivery vehicles safely crossing pedestrian footpaths, making due allowance for signage

Clipfine’s waste teams manage the waste collection, segregation, and removal system on behalf of our clients and contractors.

Our waste teams transport waste from collection points to holding areas and off-site disposal. No stockpiling is permitted, and rubbish is cleared daily. We operate “clear up forms” for contractors who leave materials or debris around site, always removing any materials causing potential hazards on-site.

The waste team is responsible for implementing the Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP). We ensure sufficient bins and skips are positioned in appropriate places to encourage good housekeeping and waste segregation. Additionally, we can define and maintain storage spaces and access routes.

Clipfine provides excellent welfare facilities, with a dedicated welfare team fully responsible for the management and maintenance of site cleanliness.

We develop project-specific cleaning procedures with inspection regimes to monitor the performance levels of the cleaning service.

Site welfare duties include:

  • Emptying waste bins
  • Vacuuming offices
  • Canteen, kitchen, WC, and shower cleaning
  • Maintaining welfare consumables
  • General tidiness of external areas

Delivery Management

Our approach to managing site deliveries is underpinned by our Delivery Management System (DMS), iCLi:k. Developed in-house, the system operates in real-time, facilitating a just-in-time approach to managing all material and plant deliveries.

Successfully applied on over 60 construction projects and with 3,500 registered users, iCLi:k provides an intuitive system that we customise to the requirements of each client and project. Key functionality includes:

  • Material and plant delivery and collection coordination
  • FORS and CLOCS compliance checks
  • Coordination with consolidation centres
  • Organisation of resources, including crane, hoist, or forklift usage
  • Real-time feedback on inbound goods
  • Performance reporting

Fire Management

Our essential fire management services provide assurance for our clients that effective plans are established, aligned with industry best practice and legislation.

We provide experienced fire managers to plan, implement, and continually update compliant fire management arrangements. Our services include:

  • Hazard and risk identification
  • Documentation control and audit trail
  • Provision of audible alarm systems
  • Periodic checks on escape routes, fire points, exits, and firefighting apparatus
  • Fire safety training for site staff

Traffic Management

Using traffic management expertise, we work with clients in the public and commercial sectors to deliver safe, innovative, and responsible solutions.

We plan and implement tailored traffic management plans, considering site-specific constraints, with a clear focus on maintaining safe traffic flow. We employ competent on-site traffic marshals to oversee the effective coordination of traffic in and around the site. Our approach includes:

  • Site access and egress arrangements
  • Managing pedestrian and vehicle gateways
  • Safely directing delivery vehicles and enforcing driver rules
  • Provision of illuminated pedestrian walkways and designated crossing points

Site Establishment & Accommodation

Our site establishment services are focused on creating a safe and secure working environment.

We design, project manage, and install the entire site establishment, maximising efficiency. Our services include:

  • Provision of modular buildings, including all associated groundworks, car parking, hoarding, fencing, and setup services (e.g., temporary electrics and plumbing).
  • Fully equipped and furnished welfare accommodation
  • Installation of security barriers, access equipment, and CCTV cameras.
